Mention the word Candela and most people cringe at the thought of smoking a cigar with a green wrapper. It’s long been associated with having a vegetal component, but in recent years that has begun to change. It’s made a bit of a comeback especially as St. Patrick’s Day comes closer.

The much-anticipated CroMagnon Firecracker from Roma Craft Tobac is leaving Nica Sueno today and headed toward New Hampshire’s Two Guys Smoke Shop. On May 19, 2007, Two Guys Smoke Shop owner David Garofalo asked Jose “Don” Pepin Garcia to roll him a short cigar and to put a long pig tail on it. And so the birth of the firecracker came from an idea. The cigar has seen versions made by My Father Cigars, Jose […]
